  1. A lot of feedback I see in my local (pro-Trump) area is basically "WHO CARES ABOUT HIS TAXES".
  2. Yeah I just now saw the article about how he stole his dad's fortune, and then the various more reports about how racist he is. I now think a huge portion of his drive is sociopathic. He just really likes gaming the system and screwing people over. He doesn't care if it screws him over a little bit so long as it screws other people over even more - he still comes out ahead. He is perfectly fine being king of the ashes, and has no interest in bettering our communities as a whole.
  3. So is he really just an idiot, or is he doing it quite on purpose to not pay taxes - which he has no control over where that money goes (public/social programs). It would seem like his method of pumping money into failing businesses keeps that money among the elite and out of the lower class. His family already has a history of transferring money in a non-taxable way, as the article described. I suppose all of this depends on how much of a biggot he is compared to how much absolute wealth he wants.
  4. But this will give Trump's base ammunition for the bullet point about how he donates his Presidential salary. "He's broke and he still donates his salary? WHAT A GENEROUS MAN! PRAISE BE OUR LORD TRUMP!"
  5. Much like how a majority of our country lives under the pretense that "all men are created equal" - one of the themes that underlies every portion of the Constitution - and those people mostly fail to actively uphold that virtue if it means taking away a portion of their "freedom", burdening them, or inconveniencing them in any way, our founding fathers were subject to the same selfish biases such that what they really meant was all men, who are like me, are created equal, and let's just ignore women, blacks, and Native Americans. And while they fought for freedom, what freedom they really wanted was to make more money, take more land, and basically do whatever the hell they wanted (in the name of capitalism!)
  6. You know who can shapeshift to look like a certain boy's dead momma? The Martha Manhunter
  7. It also kills me he says right in the canned email the senate has a long standing precedent of delaying nomination but he's going to do it anyway.
  8. My Indiana Senator Mike Braun just sent me an email saying he supports Trump's nomineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee prior to the election.
  9. Overtime is starting for me too, and I never have time to play games when it's happening. Wait for price cuts and re-stocks!
  10. There will eventually be 3rd party options when the technology gets cheaper to produce - basically when NAND manufacturers move to a smaller node for their storage chips. MS made a deal with Seagate to produce the current expansion cards at a reasonable price. Not sure how long, if any, exclusivity there is on Seagate's end. If there's none, then perhaps we'll see 3rd party ones 6 months after launch. It will probably take time (I'd say 2 years until a significant price reduction, maybe some smaller ones until then) for prices to come down, and I wouldn't expect bigger sizes until a smaller node process for the NAND chips comes out and is widely used. Now are they necessary? No. You can still use a normal external USB drive. But that drive can only run, natively, backwards compatible games from it. Next-gen games, including current gen games that get patches/updates for next-gen features, have to be on the faster internal SSD or the approved expansion card.
  11. Twin Snakes also had Nintendo-related Easter eggs. Really the only time I can remember lauhing out loud at a video game is when Pyscho Mantis read the contents of my GCN memory card and told me what games I liked. The funniest part was that he just kept going on about my gaming habits because I had every compatible save game on it
  12. Nvidia: 1650 Super (stay away from the original 1650) Any GTX 1660 variant RTX 2060 AMD: RX 570 RX 580 5600 XT Those are your new choices. Used choices aren't bad. You could probably get something around $100 that kicks the shit out of your 660. I'd actually recommend a used RX 470, RX 480, or GTX 1060. If you could possibly wait another 4-8 weeks, it's possible AMD's announcement of new cards in the sub-$500 price range could push the prices of these budget cards down a little bit. Particularly if the RTX 2060 came down in price that would be attractive. While not exactly "cheap" right now, getting it and having the possibility to test out DLSS+Ray Tracing for the future could mean you either hold onto that card longer than you'd expect or it could have better re-sell value. But it's also likely the price won't drop that much on it.
  13. Not that term, but I know of the concept. It's a more recent movement?
  14. Yep, and Catholics still hold onto most of that view, some more than others. While they can claim that every potential life is worth fostering because it's God's Will, a more insidious interpretation of having as many children as possible is that doing so grows their own belief system, because those kids will be taught the same bullshit and then teach kids of their own that bullshit. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that is the true origin of this interpretation, because at some point in human history they needed to increase the population.
  15. All of those Senators who wanted to postpone a nomination in 2016 are white men! In general our representatives do not actually represent the diversity of our population. Even more staggering is the fact that 6 of our Supreme Court Justices are (were) Catholic. 28% of our population should not be represented by 66% of the Supreme Court.
  16. Amazes me how they can be anti-abortion and anti-contraception. One of these things helps reduce the other... But I really don't know how you could argue (with an attempt to change their minds) with someone about abortion if they firmly believe life starts at contraception. This seems to be the root of their belief; people consider a zygote as a life with full rights. They attach their full emotional weight to them; making it impossible to argue about context and circumstances.
  17. It is most definitely not an actual 240 Hz; and most likely not even 120 Hz. They are just processing and inserting extra frames in between the source's framerate (which will be 24 fps or 30 fps for movies/TV), but most likely can only display at 60 Hz. Best look up the model number and find a review or find the tech sheet to be absolutely sure what it can do.
  18. No, they're doing stupid advertisements like this which I literally just saw: Who the fuck is in charge of advertisement? The first thing the eye sees is Trump.
  19. Some games are definitely CPU bottlenecked, but mostly the re-vamped architecture makes Ampere shine at 4k. Memory bandwidth is probably a key factor too. Of course, maybe Turing just wasn't well-utilized at higher resolutions. When comparing the 2080 vs. the older 1080 Ti, the 1080 closes the gap or pulls ahead of the 2080 at higher resolutions while the 2080 does better at lower ones. Those college kidz are our future!
